Ying Quartet’s Performance at Weill Recital Hall

“The most memorable part of the ensemble’s concert on Friday evening was an encore from that disc: Vivian Fung’s ‘Pizzicato for String Quartet.’ Ms. Fung’s evocative work, inspired by Chinese and Asian instruments like the pipa and gamelan, features percussive gestures and a medley of plucked sounds, including strumming. At one point the musicians rapped their knuckles against the wood of their instruments.”–The New York Times, April 22, 2009
